Taking its inspiration in the classic watches for diving from the mid last century, the brand new Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver ticks lots of boxes both stylistically and technically. The Pontos S is supposed to satisfy the rigorous standards needed for professional diving, but it is every bit as good a healthy for that budget-minded "desk diver" because the in-the-area professional. As the Pontos S Diver's dial includes a noticeably vintage look, overall the timepiece is completely modern. The 43mm steel situation is great a thick, having a matte finish as well as an engraved caseback, plus an inner rotating bezel run by the crown at 2 o'clock. With 600m water resistance, this watch can greater than handle your weekend by the pool. There's additionally a helium escape valve at 9 o'clock, though we all know how our very own Jason Heaton feels about individuals.

You will find both off-whitened and black dial options, along with the selection of a steel bracelet or perhaps a leather strap. No matter your strap/bracelet choice, the Pontos S Diver may also include a NATO strap for when you wish something casual.

The lay-from the new self-winding movement, S Diver, provides the escapement a prominent put on the watch’ dial. Time is shown on a generously sized whitened lacquered off center sub dial (hrs/minutes) along with a small seconds sub dial situated below that. The hrs/minutes sub dial is positioned on the ‘canvas’ having a Clou p Paris or Grand Colima on pattern, which provides it an identifiable Maurice Lacroix look.
